Ruhunu Lanka Minerals (Pvt) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of CeyQuartz, Sri Lanka’s premier processor and exporter of quartz, recently launched its Flagship Studio for Crystalstone Quartz Surfaces. Located at 496, Nawala Road, Koswatta Junction, Rajagiriya, Crystalstone is a premium brand of 100% locally produced, high-end, luxury Countertops and Surfaces. Those with a taste for latest in modern home design can now visit the Crystalstone Studio in Nawala for a first-hand experience of the exquisite, rich aesthetic that Crystalstone Surfaces create.
With 25 years of experience in mining, processing & exporting Quartz to the world’s leading manufacturers of Quartz Surfaces, CeyQuartz made the transition to manufacturing Quartz Surfaces for the local market and export under the Crystalstone brand name, combining its vast experience and knowledge with the latest technology and unique craftsmanship. The launch of the flagship Studio is a milestone for the company and the public can now experience the style and craftsmanship of natural Quartz.
Quartz Surfaces are in huge demand worldwide as Surfaces for kitchen countertops, vanities and flooring. The Sri Lankan market was dominated by more common alternatives such as granite, ceramic-tiles and marble. A F M Farook, Crystalstone COO, points out that although Sri Lanka is rich in this unique mineral, a lack of availability of a locally made product, the high cost of imported Quartz Surfaces and a lack of knowledge of the many advantages of Quartz Surfaces has kept Sri Lankans from enjoying the benefits of it.
Apart from the rich, exquisite look and feel, Quartz Surfaces stand out for a variety of other reasons. For instance, Quartz is one of the hardest, most durable, naturally occurring minerals on earth. Quartz Surfaces are non-porous, highly resistant to abrasion, stains, scratches, heat and cold. Due to the unreactive properties of natural Quartz, these surfaces are more resistant to the wear and tear of daily use, spillage, or commonly used cleaning products and require minimal upkeep and maintenance.
Prior to launching the Crystalsone product range in the retail market, CeyQuartz focused on the B2B market and was the supplier-of-choice for many leading construction companies in Sri Lanka, with over 75% of market share.
‘‘Being the pioneering Quartz Surface manufacturer in Sri Lanka, we aim to realize the full potential of the local retail market. Following the launch of the Flagship Studio in Colombo, we are expanding our geographical presence across the Island with more showrooms to follow in Kurunegala, Galle and Jaffna. Crystalstone is also making its presence felt in the high-end export market with unique designs from its Calacatta & Carrara range and a sophisticated colour palette. Having invested heavily in state-of-the-art technology and machinery, we look forward with great enthusiasm to seeing our creative efforts delighting our customers at home and abroad’’ Farook, elaborated further.
Backed by meticulous research and development and strict adherence to global standards of manufacture, Crystalstone products are engineered to be sustainable, with a strong commitment to safeguarding the environment. The company’s main production plant is certified with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 accreditations.
